How Is This Not Racist?

NOTE: I am closing the comments in this thread due to length, and extra stress on the servers. Please go up to the full reprinting to continue your discussions.
UPDATE/CORRECTION?: Thanks to reader LDP doing some more digging, we now believe that Jay-Z and Young Jeezy exhibited their crude behavior at a concert Monday night called “Jay-Z’s ‘Concert On The Eve Of Change’.” See photos. Lovely. (He performed his apparently revered new hit song, “History,” which I’ve added at the end of this post.) Get this: He charged big bucks for tickets, which scalpers quickly scooped up. Via sohh.com:
The “affordable” tickets reportedly sold-out in a matter of minutes.
Only the highest online bidders will have the chance to see the hip-hop superstar honor the new president-elect. The cheapest seats for the show, located in the balcony of Washington’s Warner Theatre, cost between $195 and $375 depending on the view. Those disappeared from Ticketmaster in less than five minutes after going on sale at 10 a.m. Friday. (CNN)
In light of LisaB’s great article earlier today, “The ‘racist’ angle, going forward,” I have to ask how this disgusting, utterly vulgar trash talking by “Young Jeezy” and “Jay-Z” at one of the Tuesday night inaugural balls (!) — featured in a segment on The O’Reilly Factor — is not also racist. Racism, contrary to the high-minded assumptions of the elite mainstream media and academia, is not a one-way street.
As I researched this story, I found more and more must-read items, and this story goes clear back to Obama’s behavior during the Democratic primaries. So, let me distill all below into a few succinct key points:
1) During the Democratic primaries, candidate Barack Obama evoked the motions and style of Jay-Z in order to mock and demean Hillary Clinton. Obama’s gestures — unfamiliar to us who aren’t into hip-hop but instantly understood by all who are into that “music” — were summed up in a great article published at No Quarter, “Obama Invokes Jay-Z: ‘Stab the Ladies…Middle Finga To The Law’.”
2) Jay-Z is regarded as an “A-list” celebrity, even by the so-called MSM.
3) Not only that, Jay-Z was awarded the privilege and protection of an official police escort this week in Washington, D.C. (although we don’t know who picked up the tab for that).
4) Jay-Z attends the Neighborhood Inaugural Ball — which means he was invited (!) — with his pal Young Jeezy, and the two tear up the place with a racist rant that essentially flaunts black power because they have a black president.
5) During the Neighborhood Ball, Jay-Z and Young Jeezy pitch a nasty, foul-mouthed fit that they’re not asked to perform at the Ball.
6) We learn that Jay-Z, along with Arcade Fire, has been chosen by the top administrators of the Obama campaign staff to headline a special concert for the hardest-working Obama campaign staff in D.C.
7) We therefore conclude that, while on Inaugural Day, the Obamas danced to the more elegant Beyonce, they are still promoting the filth and misogyny of Jay-Z and other “performers” of his ilk, just as they did during the campaign.
Above all else, what Jay-Z and Young Jeezy sell is misogyny, sexism, and the objectification of women, as well as dangerous hatred of all other races except blacks. Ironically, sadly, those sales are made to a lot of white, Asian and Hispanic kids.
Here are some sample lyrics from Jay-Z and Young Jeezy are below (brace yourselves). There are more lyrics like this:
How We Ball In The Club, I Know You Hate It
Mommy Dancing On The Floor, All Like She Naked
When She Lay Down With You, I Know She Fake It
All The Girls Give It To Me, I Ain’t Gotta Take It …
Then there are these “lyrics” from Jay-Z’s song that inspired Obama’s gesture, captured on YouTube (seen at the end of this story), towards Hillary Clinton:
If you feelin’ like a pimp nigga, go and brush your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off
Niggaz is crazy baby, don’t forget that boy told you
Get, that, dirt off your shoulder
Now for all the details of the above summary. First, this segment was aired on Bill O’Reilly’s show Wednesday night:
Bill O’Reilly didn’t have the whole story. Not by a long shot. First, there are these remarks by YouTube channel owner (Mark1 Williams, a black man) whose video is below:
and jayz had the nerve to act like his feelings were hurt when he wasn’t asked to perform. these are grown men for god’s sake. *shaking my head*
So Mark Williams believes that Jay-Z behaved like this at the ball Tuesday night. You’ve now seen our update above. We just aren’t sure which night it was. But the point that Williams made was that Jay-Z was acting out furiously because he wasn’t invited to perform at the inaugural ball? Jay-Z is an arrogant racist and a misogynistic blowhard afflicted with stunted emotional growth.
BELOW is the un-censored video of Jay-Z’s antics at the inaugural ball Tuesday night, posted by YouTube channel owner Mark1 Williams. STRONG WARNING: The language is very raw, so prepare yourself before you click and, if you’re sensitive to such vulgarity, skip it:
Not that you’re likely to want to see more, but if you do, here’s a link to more such videos from Tuesday night and from those two, uh, performers.
NOW GET THIS. While researching this story, I discovered that Jay-Z has no reason to pout for not getting to perform at the inaugural balls since he is performing, along with Arcade Fire, at an exclusive private party for key Obama campaign staffers as a “thank you” from the campaign. Bill O’Reilly didn’t have this either, even though it’s published by the NYT reporter who spewed bile on Hillary Clinton, Adam Nagourney, at the New York Times Caucus blog as well as at PitchforkMedia and other media outlets. PitchforkMedia praises “Jay and the Arcade Fire [who] both campaigned hard for Obama. … [T]his should be an incredible show, and it seems a fair bet those staffers will hear that “My President is Black” remix at some point.
Oh wow. Don’t we hope. That “My President is Black” remix? It features not only Jay-Z but his partner in filth, “Young Jeezy.”
Isn’t it great that our new president is treating his hardest-working campaign staffers to these sleazeballs?
Do you recall the great article we posted on Jay-Z by Laluchasigue? It’s this article: “Obama Invokes Jay-Z: ‘Stab the Ladies…Middle Finga To The Law’.”
Here’s the history behind Jay-Z that O’Reilly left out of his program Wednesday night:
Obama mimicked Jay-Z during the campaign to connect with hip young black voters and — and! — to denigrate Secretary Hillary Clinton, along with, let’s face it, all women since these two are clearly misogynistic. Shockingly, Obama was willing to stoop to Jay-Z’s level to get votes. So, actually, what took place at the Tuesday inaugural ball is in part Obama’s own fault because he legitimized these foul-mouthed lousy performers by mimicking them, especially in rallies dominated by black voters. Wrote Laluchasigue:
Obama’s invocation of Jay-Z’s defiant “Dirt Off Your Shoulder” battle anthem during the same speech adds evidence to the claim that he gave Hillary the finger.
Obama’s gesture prompted a mash-up video that made the Jay-Z/Obama connection explicit. Ari Melber, the other Obamabot named Ari at The Nation, posted the video on The Nation’s website, noting, “Obama really is a Jay-Z fan, too. When asked which hip hop artists he likes in a recent interview, he said, ‘lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Jay-Z — this new American Gangster album.’”
Sigh. Yeah. That American Gangster album is da bomb. Great taste, Mr. President. Just great. And what a fine example to the nation’s youth.
Dennis Miller is correct, in the O’Reilly segment, about the two young men being unable to “ratchet down the hate.”
But let’s face it. If those two didn’t have white people to hate, and women to trash, what in the hell would they have left to rap about?
And I LOVE what Miller says about the term “ho’s” versus “hose.” (That’s another strong theme in this kind of “music” [I use the term reluctantly] in that it is also misogynistic and constantly regards women as objects whose sole function is for the gratification of male sexual pleasure.)
Quite frankly, their “music” is nothing more than crudely dysfunctional emotional ejaculation and has nothing to do with the deepest needs of all psychologically healthy human beings, which are to connect emotionally as well as physically.
This kind of language, and what it conveys, has no place in our society. Racism can, and does, affect ALL races.. And the speech of Jay-Z and Young Jeezy is racist against whites, Hispanics, Native Americans, and Asian Americans.
It makes me sick to my stomach that young people are spending money — most likely their parents’ hard-earned money — to make rich brats out of these thugs. It repulses me that young people are reveling in the music put out by disgusting hate-filled people like these two. Bill O’Reilly’s minimization of their impact is woefully wrong. The truth is that far too many young people are listening to music like this.
Can we have a little class, please. Is that too much to ask? A little more Beyonce and no more Jay-Z?
Naturally, the vast majority of blacks yesterday rejoiced in the inauguration of the nation’s first black president. But there were a few who used the occasion to preach hate and racism against anyone who’s not black like them.
President Obama must do all he can to set these young thugs straight, and to discourage young people from imitating their behavior and adopting their sickening attitudes.
Perhaps President Obama can begin by not emulating them in order to win a presidential election.
I finished the above story but it kept bugging me. So I searched the news for more reports.
This is by an LA Times reporter for its arts section, “The Culture Monster,” who spotted Jay-Z in the morning:
I walked to the southeastern edge of the Capitol this morning with my sister and a friend. They held blue tickets for the swearing-in ceremony; mine was green. We parted at the corner of Independence Avenue and South Capitol Street. And while I progressed rather quickly through a battery of security checkpoints and found my seat around 9 a.m. — well before a parade of celebrities including Jay-Z (wearing a gigantic, Yeltsin-esque fur hat), Beyonce and Maria Shriver swept past me toward their seats nearby — they stood motionless in a massive block of people that went nowhere. They ultimately gave up after standing in line for four hours.
Here’s another not-too-deep report, “Leonardo DiCaprio Joins Beyonce, Jay-Z, and More at Neighborhood Inaugural Ball.”
And last, this from the San Francisco Examiner:
How the mighty have fallen – Jennifer Lopez locked out of Jay-Z show at Obama Inaugural
[...]
Real A-listers like Jay-Z, who was getting around town with a police escort, and Alicia Keys had been warned to make it to balls and other celebrations up to four hours early to make it past the snarled traffic and tight security. Even Leonardo DiCaprio and Toby “Spiderman” Maquire were there early. …
Got that? Jay-Z is a “real A-lister” who gets a “police escort” — and who’s paying for that? The taxpayers of Washington, D.C.? And who ordered that he merited a police escort? I’d like to know who arranged that. Was it an Obama staffer? And why?
My jaw has dropped so many times while writing this article that I can’t find it anymore.
So a misogynistic, foul-mouthed creep like Jay-Z gets A-list treatment, a police escort, and a lead in the entertainment for Obama’s most prized campaign staffers? And he served as a role model for Obama to capture the black vote?
What world am I living in?
The one thing I do know is that it’s not my world or my country. It’s not my family’s world. It’s not my mother’s world (she’d be shocked beyond belief by this article if she were alive to read it).
Down is up.
Class is trash.
And I’m glad that I chose to stay away from that campaign and that candidate, if those are the celebrities and the “talent” he chooses to reward.
I’ll stick with the one who should be president.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Now there’s real class.
But remember this video. That crowd got exactly what Obama was doing:
That gesture comes from these lyrics:
[Chorus: Jay-Z]
If you feelin’ like a pimp nigga, go and brush your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off
Niggaz is crazy baby, don’t forget that boy told you
Get, that, dirt off your shoulder[Verse One]
I probably owe it to y’all, probably to be locked by the force
Tryin to hustle some things, that go with the Porsche
Feelin no remorse, feelin like my hand was forced
Middle finger to the law, nigga grippin ma balls
Stab the ladies they love me, from the bleachers they screamin
All the ballers is bouncin, they like the way I be leanin
All the rappers be hatin, off the track that I’m makin
But all the hustlers they love it just to see one of us make it
Came from the bottom the bottom, to the Top of the Pops
Nigga London, Japan and I’m straight off the block
Like a running back, get it man, I’m straight off the block
I can run it back nigga cause I’m straight with the Roc
=
Just remember, as if I have to repeat it, from above:
“Obama really is a Jay-Z fan, too. When asked which hip hop artists he likes in a recent interview, he said, ‘lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Jay-Z — this new American Gangster album.’”
What an example to the nation’s children our new president is.
UPDATE on “Jay-Z’s ‘Concert On The Eve Of Change’.” (H/T to LDP, who did some more digging, and found out that Jay-Z probably performed those antics at the Monday night concert he held. See photos. Lovely. (He performed his apparently revered new hit song, “History,” which I’ve added at the end of this post.) See sohh.com for more background on the concert.
NOW HERE ARE SOME of the lyrics to his lauded song, “History” — I note that “defeat” is a woman, but of course:
Known for his clever usage of metaphors, Jay compares Obama’s victory to his yearning and frustration over a woman.“Until she visit me/I’ll be stuck with her sister her name is defeat/she gives me agony/I‘m
stuck in this routine/whole new different day/same old thing/all I got
is dreams/nobody else could see/nobody else believes/nobody else but
me/Where are you victory/I need you desperately/not just for the
moment, to make history.”The song, which debuted on Angie Martinez’s Hot 97 radio show in New York City, comes after months of Jay’s personal endorsement of Obama at concerts, rallies with fans throughout the nation and exclusive Obama benefit shows.
Read all here, including more on songs by others on Obama’s victory.
Um yeah, and I’m a racist? Wow. Well, as long as we are all the same, we need to call out racism where ever we find it….and I think you found it Susan. No more special treatment or excuses for anyone. That was vile. And Obama listens to that crap? What class, what dignity, what elegant understatement….especially that bottle of vodka being passed around.
Jay Z and Puffy Combs will find himself in a “Frank Sinatra” situation pretty soon. Jay Z and Puffy think they are closer to the President than they really are and when their “thuggist” behavior draws criticism they will never know what hit them. Obama will lose them quick. Hope Jay Z and Puffy Combs like the view from under the bus.
Oh trust me, Jay Z “music” and the music of most of the rappers from the 90s hates black people too.
As Chris Rock said “Who hates black people more- White people or Black people? Black people!!!”
Jay Z and Beyonce are trying to become hip hop royalty. I guess only the white kids are impressed because I can tell you, us black folks ain’t impressed by some little princess outta Houston and some thug outta Marcy Projects (a housing project in Brooklyn, NY where Jay Z is from).
wow….why do they hate black people?
It’s not really hating, it more like disrespecting each other. The “N” flying around and rapping about killing each other. It’s not positive. So when violence erupts, who is anyone surprised?
The only difference now is that many of those “angry” rappers like Jay Z and Ice Cube have gone legit, but left a legacy of anger, resentment and underclass status, glorifying jail time and baby mama drama.
Obama was right about men needed to take more responsibility for their families, I just wish he didn’t single out one group… absentee fatherhood is not a race issue.
It helps me to think of the dignity of Bill Cosby through all of this. Jay Z & the hip-hop crowd do not exemplify the future of racial integration in American society. Bill Cosby does. Where is Barack Obama?
To address the video, Obama is being faux black… for me it’s contrived and an act, trying to be a “homeboy”. As an african-american woman, I find it condescending.
Barack Obama is not a homeboy, nor a ‘hood rat, nothing inner city about him.
Stefystef — Obama doesn’t care anyone but himself. He has used AA’s the same way he uses the youth. Obama wants to be love not for what he can do for people but just because he’s Obama.
Thank you, Susan! It’s a very scary time for women now, and they don’t even know it. Think of all of the women who will be beaten and killed because of Jay Z’s influence.
GREAT NEWS GUYS! CAROLINE KENNEDY IS OUT OUT OUT!
She withdrew. Front page,. NYT
First good news in a hell of a long time.
Jay Z is the sexist equivalent of Bull Connor from the 1960’s…….. If some of you are too young to remember who he was, google that name, and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
I remember him all too well. He was the worst of racist white trash, swinging a legalized club. A horrible product of his time.
As we see in JayZ, trash comes in all colors. The Civil War didn’t heal the wounds on either side. Affirmative action didn’t do it. Making millions didn’t do it. What’s it going to take JayZ? Maybe JayZ doesn’t want anything to change. He might lose those millions he’s made by pimping racism if he couldn’t rile the black masses and stoke white guilt.
That’s a great point Annie…If these people didn’t peddle their hate, they wouldn’t be raking in their hundreds of millions. LOL. Yet again it’s all just about money.
Get a grip on the reality that we don’t have a black president.Black and white quite equally!
It is a shame that so many white people elected Obambi and yet the racist angered overtone has only deepened and grown more vile.
Racism is a 2 way street and while there is plenty of outcry when a white person does not act the examplery part,it sure gets brushed under the pile of indifference when a black person conducts it.
JayZ’s ignorance and anger is shameful and hundred steps backwards in decent human relations.
You are so correct — 0-zero is really more white than black — and culturally he is WHITE.
Unless the “drop of blood” rule applies — and then my guess is that a hell of a lot of folks would discover that they too are black.
Ironically DNA doesn’t always agree with external appearance. Some individuals look very white and yet they could be (using DNA) considered black. Other individuals consider themselves black — but their DNA says otherwise.
Genealogy — if we go back far enough I doubt that anyone is pure white.
Blue eyes haven’t been around that long — few thousand years. One person had a genetic mutation.
I always notice gender before race — and really gender is the most dominant identifier. The supreme ignorance of the racist/sexists pigs –EVERYONE starts life as a female — and then at a point in the gestation one gene triggers the switch to male.
I saw this tape last night and I think that it is not music it shows what this country has become. It is time that Obama starts to ban this kind of stuff. Who in their right mind would even listen to this garbage?
I’m repulsed by this. If a white person at a John McCain or Hillary Clinton party uttered those filthy words there would be race riots and blacks burning the country to the ground, like we have been threatened with for two years if Obama didn’t get his way.
I am thrilled, however, that this is going on. I hope every white person/woman who voted for Obama sees who he really is and realize what a mistake they made. A sexist, racist pig himself. Never mind Michelle and her hate of all things American or white. This is what our country thinks is dignity and class? This is the message for blacks out there? What a disgrace this so called “Presidency”, and everything surrounding it, is. And will continue to be.
Apparently so…pretty pathetic.
RIP,
Time will tell if Obama represents the interests of white Americans who have bent over backwards to advance the cause of all minorities.
White folks will not tolerate being treated like second class and if there is even a hint that this is happening there will be a mobilization and total backlash in four years.
Moss,
White people already ARE second class citizens in this country. They just don’t know it yet. If a black person and white person are up for a job, and equally qualified, who do you think gets it? Hmmmm…Unfortunately the Obamas don’t particularly lead by example, or engender unity. So, in four years, there WILL be a huge backlash. Maybe that will show the idiots in this country to vote for a CANDIDATE not a COLOR.
It’s really sad that even AFTER this country elected an alleged black man, there is STILL so much hate out there from blacks like JayZ. When do they stop? Frankly, I am done with it. They got what they wanted. Any hate after that should be treated the same way it would if it came from a white person. It never will be, but it should.
Moss,
White Americans already ARE second class citizens. They just don’t know it yet. If a black man and white woman are up for a job, and equally qualified, who gets the job? Hmmmmm…that’s a no brainer.
There WILL be a major backlash against this mess soon. Obama will fail, blacks will realize they were conned just like the rest of us, and it will take years to straighten it out.
Also, the blacks have to realize that we aren’t putting up with the crap anymore. They got Obama. If they keep the hate up, and they don’t start lifting themselves up, race relations will get screwed up again. I know I have HAD IT with the hate. HAD IT. To see that idiot JayZ, who speaks for a large percentage of that society, makes my blood boil. Instead of being GRATEFUL for the progress of America, and for Obama’s phony “selection,” they rage on with hate. THAT, my friend, is going to backfire in a BIG WAY. No one is going to tolerate that hate anymore. They got what they wanted. He’s a dud and a fraud. Too bad for them. Let them live with it. Maybe next time they can vote substance over color like the rest of us did.
Moss,
I keep trying to answer you, but it’s getting lost in spam. If this one goes through LOL…
I’ve had it with the hate. Whites ARE second class citizens already. They just don’t know it yet. Backlash in four years? You bet. None of us are going to tolerate black hate anymore. I have HAD it. They got what they wanted, now they need to live up to it. And when he fails miserably, which he will, next time they will use their brains to vote substance over color.
How are whites second class citizens? please give me an example, perhaps I am just outta the loop.
Candid Andy…you are one of the dumber OButts so I feel sorry for you. It must be really hard to walk around with the ignorance. Oh well.
If a white man and black man are up for a job, and equally qualified, who gets the job? We just got our first Affirmative Action “President Select” so that’s a little example for you. Your comment are so ridiculous that I don’t expect you to “get it.” Go smoke crack with your fellow Kool Aid drinkers. Your high isn’t going to last too long.
When hiring policies are not based on merit but on “Equal Opportunity”, which is an unbelievable oxymoron, those who lose out are second class.
Nice try, Rancid Candy.
Well, RIP and Moss, I hope we have a huge backlash in two years and another one in four. Although I totally prefer the Supremes doing their job before then.
Snickers…Yes, we have to all be thinking about 2010 and get INVOLVED. If anything this “selection” has taught us is that we have to take back our country from these nuts, and not sit on our behinds and let this happen again. I can’t wait to see how fast this country dumps the Dem scum out of Congress in 10. But we have to be part of working it.
seattle the backlash has started. i believe the media will fall out of love with obama very soon. they’ll begin by making fun of michelle most likely. i don’t think she’ll be able to keep her mouth shut no matter how hard the handlers try. also she firmly believes she is a fashion icon. sad really!
A burlap sack by any other name would look so awful.
sooner or later the media will begin laughing at her. the emperor’s new clothes and all that goes with it.
in a few short months, obama will regret he thought being prez was cool.
Before designing Michelle Obama’s inaugural gown, Jason Wu toiled in toys creating dolls of the First Lady of Drag, RuPaul, and the self-appointed “World’s #1 Transexual”, Amanda Lepore.
Michelle’s in good company!
—————————————-
No wonder MeChelle looked like she was wearing toilet paper wads. ROFLMAO
There’s no question that these lyrics and performances are racist. And it needs to stop, period. This PC notion that these “artists” represent black culture is obscene. And white kids buy these albums and repeat the lingo because they’re convinced “it’s cool.”
No, it’s garbage and breeds nothing but racism, sexism and hate. If Obama encourages this nonsense, he’ll reap the whirlwind. He’s the father of two daughters and all women are marginalized by this stuff, black and white.
Is it racist, sexist? Without a doubt.
Remember he said something to the effect that his daughters listen to this music too.
Which is scary, Wisewoman. So much of this dreck only reinforces the idea that women and girls are objects of male gratification, nothing more.
Wait until his daughters are teenagers. He might find his taste in music change quickly!
Betcha he would never let his girls find Jay-Z at the end of a scavenger hunt!
So here’s what I’m struggling with: if Obama is so ‘brilliant’, why does he not GET how wrong this stuff is?
The other alternative is that Obama is encouraging segments of our culture that benefit him in the end.
I think Obama is a raw opportunist. He embraced this to get the youth vote. But as a father if he doesn’t cut this garbage- posing-as-art loose?
You reap what you sow.
I don’t believe Obama’s kids listen to Jay Z, they like the Jonas brothers. I can’t see Obama liking this stuff either, he’s too smooth and sophisticated for that. He was just using black trash to win the black trash vote. Decent black people don’t like that image. Actually I think rap music is on its way out, it was hot about 10 years ago and been going down ever since.
Obama is on record as listening to filthy misogynistic rap with his daughters – FACT. This song “Drop It Like It’s Hot”:
“Pistol whip you, dip you then flip you
Then dance to this motherf*cking music we crip to
Subscribe nigga, get yo issue
Baby come close, let me see how you get loose!”
This is what the fraud plays for his little girls – it is no wonder this whole culture centered around Obama is rampant with sexism and misogyny.
LOl. you have taken what he said outta context, why can people just stick to the truth, not lies, make your point within the confines of the truth!!!!!!!!
What who said?; what context? Make a valid point, then it will be refuted. What I’ve said is incontestable.
Context? LMAO, Rancid Candy. Pray tell, what is the context of garbage? A landfill?
This type of behavior was tolerated, even encouraged, during the campaign. It should not surprise us that it entered the inaugural festivities. It does not surprise me but it does sadden, anger, and disappoint greatly. Despite his pretensions to the contrary there is a part of Obama that is utterly and completely vulgar. It bothers me greatly that we had a campaign like this. And it bothers me even more that this crassness entered the inauguration of the 44th President of the United States.
The only thing I can be proud of at this inaugural is that for the 44th time in the history of the United States of America we had a peaceful and bloodless transfer of power. May there be four-million ++++++ more of those. And may this administration be a one-term one only.
You’re right, Susan. This is disgusting. Why the msm refuses to see the red flag that flies when Pres. Obama
counts these rappers as ones he likes is beyond me. It is just shameful that no one but No Quarter is showing any concern about it. I only hope that President Obama will do what Bill Cosby has done and admonish anyone who is involved in this kind of filth.
why would he do that? He sat in Rev. Wrights church for 20 years which is on the same level of filth.
The MSM is owned and controlled by the very power elite who groomed and placed BO into the WH. They have a big investment in this guy to maintain the status quo for them with his smooth talk, as he speaks out of both sides of his mouth to the huddled masses who fell under his spell and to the corporations that are depending on him to keep them spellbound, while they engage in the final act of taking over America!
The people who voted for THE ONE are in for a great shock. The question is, will they be able to see him for who he really is when it’s staring them in the face? Or will they choose to remain sheep?
O’s post debate gesture of brushing his shoulders ,dissing Hillary and calling up Jay Z’s lyrics , unfortunately “spoke” to millions. That gesture , alone, garnered many thousands of votes. Here’s a money line from the article in The Nation referenced above:
Referring to Obambi’s gesture…
immediately heralded the move as “perhaps the coolest subliminal cultural reference in the history of American politics.”
This will be in the history books. How proud I feel right now.
not.
That “gesture,” and the subsequent flipping the finger to McCain and Clinton, show what an immature, filthy little THUG Obama is himself. I can’t believe anyone voted for that high school, juvenile, little brat after he pulled those stunts. He makes me sick. Literally. Can you imagine Reagan, Bill Clinton, Hillary, Gore, Kerry, ANY OF THEM making those rude, crude gestures? McCain? Flipping off a colleague? HELL NO. This man is mentally deranged.
May I add the equation of Geraldine Ferraro with Louis Farrakhan to the list of 0’s gravest hits? When I heard that, I immediately thought of what Army counsel Joseph Welch said to Senator Joseph McCarthy in 1954:
“Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?”
I don’t think 0 ever had any decency to begin with. I’m sure that Larry is right about his daughters thinking he is great. And yet—what decent father would listen to music with lyrics like those quoted above in the presence of his young daughters?
Really nice article, Susan.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to matter to our new Bro in the house. Nor does it seem to matter to the MSM any more than it did on the campaign trail.
Bro BHO used so many racist things in his campaign and allowed others the same privilege that this could have been stopped early on had any in the MSM had the balls to speak up.
But when your agenda is to elect a person because they’re black in order to show your progressive nature, and you’ve picked a low life only for the image he presents, this is what you get.
Obama just had to act Black to get votes from minorities, then he’d turn right around and act White when he want the white liberal vote, and turn right around and act Christian to the Rick Warren crowd, and then Muslim to the Farakan crowd. Let’s face it nobody knows who this guy is.
Excellent Lead Story Susan..
it is the Kind of “RAINBOW” Reality check that needs to stay in the Spotlight…That the Kind of “TRUTH” that keeps me coming back to No Quarter..and has made no Quarter the NO.1 Blog..
my home sit facing a Four Lane City street…with a large covered Porch..my family and i sit out there all during the summer..and I have been DISGUSTED with having Pimp Car after pimp Car rolling by…stopping for the Light.in Frontwindows down…some Punk laying way back in the seat so far you can’t see his head..With CD Blasting..on a1000 watt Stereo…playing thast Kind of Rap Crap Hate Music..and every other Word being..”Moth.. Fuc.er”
And apparently these are president Obama’s kind of People..What Great Role models..GAG..PUKE..
One last Question i just thought of this mroning while drinking My TEA..
Since President obama’s new Armored Limo is called the “BEAST”..and it hit you in a cross walk and leaves a Big Bruise on your Leg..
Does that mean you have “HE MARK OF THE BEAST..”
just wondering..
why does he have a new armored limo, what was wrong with the old one.
If you’re gonna get vexed about something, at least be honest about it.
the rap does not say ’stab the ladies, they love me’
Also, the song is just a celebration of someone who as a black guy looks at O and feels pride. I do not blame him and I do not know why you’re all so upset, the president is black, so why does that offend you?
(I know he is half white but the man himself described himself as an African American, so deal with it.)
your ignorance is truly revealing.
Do enlighten me on this ignorance of which you speak.
that’s pretty sad…you don’t even know how ignorant you are.
You think Jay Z is just a black guy proud of another black guy. Jay Z is an obscene, vulgar nasty person who is racist and sexist. Feel enlightened now? Didn’t think so.
Ignorance? Yup. This is why Obama is where he is in the first place. Anyone who can’t see the JayZ crap as vulgar, vile, inappropriate and absolutely idiotic is, well, not so enlightened.
LOl, So who is to be sorry for that? B.O. is not responsible for what Jay Z says.Because he is a rapper, he cannot express pride in the the new president? I know that this exchange between us now is rather pointless, you’re quite comfortable feeling aggrieved over nothing, so have fun with it.
Obama is not responsible for anything…right.
Your attempt at sarcasm flopped.
Everyone sing along the new American National Anthem…”Obama’s not to blame, …Obama’s not to blame…Obama’s not to blame…”
Lol, what’s the requirement for your loons are us society? half a brain, hate stained eyes? what is it?
Candid Andy…WTF are you doing here you ignorant Bot? You should be out smoking crack with your pals. If you are too blinded by your own hatred for this country, that you can’t see the truth about Obama, then that’s on YOU. You got your unqualified, cheat, liar and con man AA President. BECAUSE he is AA. No other reason. Why can’t you idiots be happy about it and get lost? Really, what point are you trying to prove here? And the only HATE around here is the hate from people like JayZ and the Obamas from the very society that feeds them. Kind of ironic, huh?
Lol, I do not think you know what irony is. You post a comment filled with hate and then say ‘the only hate around is…’ I told you, you only half a brain to join your loons are us society.
If he puts him seal of approval on it by listening to it as a “fan”, he’s responsible. His influence…on youth especially…as POTUS gives the message that this is acceptable.
It is beneath the dignity of any person in public office to give this vile filth authenticy. If low lifes such as yourself choose to pollute your own consciousness and awareness with this hateful racism, it’s up to you. As POTUS, he is supposed to represent EVERYONE not just pander to black racists. Got it now, pond scum?
Candid Andy said:
“the rap does not say ’stab the ladies, they love me’”
No, instead it glorifes rape, which is certainly an uplifting message! Filth is filth regardless of what rhythm you put it to.
You have a mother or sister, Andy? You want to sing them these lyrics?
This isn’t a celebration of being a black man. It’s a celebration of being a thug.
Where does the rap glorify rape? Please tell me.
No, it’s not a celebration of being a thug, I just do not get why you are so mad, forget his other songs, what is it about the particular song, ‘My president is black’ that upsets you so?
I have three sisters and trust me, I would never try to tell to them what to do, they are smart young women and make up their own mind, if they need advice, i’ll give it. I do not try to control them.
Candid Andy. I am an AA female and I will continue to enlighten you. This behavior was condoned, encouraged, and supported by Obama throughout the campaign. see the following example:
To cheers, at a rally for young people in Atlanta near the end of the primaries, Obama referenced the rapper Lil Wayne as follows: “maybe you are the next Lil Wayne, but probably not, in which case you need to stay in school”. Now he could have used any rapper but he chose Lil Wayne. Why? May be the following lyrics to his hit song explains why he chose this rapper and why the young rap loving crowd laughed and cheered so wildly:
“I get on top
She drop it like it’s hot
And when I’m on the bottom
She be Hillary Rodham”
That is the kind of disgusting things that happened that many whites and blacks do not know about. I followed this campaign closely. You are an uniformed person who escuses bad behaior. I despise Obama for his lies, race-baiting, and lack of real leadership. In my opinion he hated his mother, his grandmother, white people, and specifically white women. He is an empty individual with a feeling of not belonging to either race, therefore he has no real love for either. The guilt-driven, Clinton hating whites (dems & repubs) put him in office, not the blacks. Blacks helped slightly in a few states. Proof for Example: Obama did not win MS & SC with the highest percentage of blacks (Obama won both states primaries) in the General election against McCain. He did win for example IA, NH, VT and other states with the lowest number of blacks in the country. BLACKS DID NOT ELECT THIS PRESIDENT, WHITES DID!!
Lol, you sound like a self loathing sad case, who does not want to work with facts so, you take comfort in lies and distortion.
The fact that you claim to be an AA gives you no special insight into B.O.’s mind. Where did you get the impression that he hates white people? As for me excusing bad behaviour. please see the above.
He used lil’ Wayne because he was the hottest thing out then then, the most obvious entertainer the kids could relate to, if you don’t understand that, then oh well.
The majority of whites did not vote for O but that does not matter because he got the most votes of any Democratic candidate from whites since LBJ, he also won the Latino, Jewish, African American, Asian, Native American and so on. The man was elected by all types of Americans,a fact that any right thinking American should be proud.
Instead you all take comfort in your hate.
Thanks for speaking so authoritatively on this. I am not AA, but live on the edge of Harlem, and especially during the NY primary I talked with quite a few black women in my neighborhood based on our shared visible support of Senator Clinton. For the most part, they were open to an 0bama presidency sometime in the future, after he proved himself as worthy of the office. Many thought we had a chance to make history in another way by electing the first woman president, and it was better for the country to go that route given the comparative stature of the two leading Democrats. Isn’t it telling how 0bots see only “self-loathing” in people who clearly are patriots?
You’re right, in four years let’s see how well you feel when whites start singing, say white is back, yeah, say white is back yeah. Remember, a president is suppose to be for all Americans.
I for one do not care what colour the president is, so long as (s)he is competent, compasssionate and straight thinking, I am cool. All but 44 presidents have been white, do you really begrudge people the celebration of the fact that the country is really starting to live up to its founding principles, ……that all men are created equal?
You cannot see that there is great joy in moment? if not, oh well, that’s you problem.
Andy said:
“do you really begrudge people the celebration of the fact that the country is really starting to live up to its founding principles, ……that all men are created equal?”
No, I don’t begrudge people anything. If a large section of the country is proud that a black man has been elected POTUS that’s perfectly reasonable. It’s a huge step forward but it’s not a magic potion. And condoning filthy lyrics and/or calling it “art” because the rapper or the POTUS is black is stupid and insane.
And btw, “all men are created equal” in the eyes of God and under the law. But we bring different strengths and weaknesses, varying talents to the table.
Yes, there is “joy” in the moment. But the next four years are not all going to be joyous, so you better get ready for a reality check.
I do not agree with you that those lyrics are filthy, I think you are taking umbrage because you’re mad that O won and any excuse to be mad at anything about or involving him will be welcomed by you.
How is that you know the next four years will be bad? Wanna share that crystal ball with the rest of the country?
Of course, in the eyes of the law and in the Almighty’s we are equal. Anything after that is subjec to nature and nuture.
Have you been reading the headlines recently? It doesn’t take a crystal ball to know the country is on the skids. And Barack Obama owns this now. No backtracking or backpedalling.
He wanted the job, he’s got it. And he gets the heat that comes with it. And now we’ll see if inexperience is a virtue.
Trust me, I hope to God he’s better than I expect.
And btw, if you can’t tell the difference between filth and celebration, you need a new set of ears!
Are you joking? You see nothing mysogynist and horrid in this rapper’s behavior.
Not in the ‘my president is black’ song, no, his verse is celebratory.
We can talk about other songs but you gotta bring me the proof and then i’ll school you if you want.
say andy, if mccain had won and some white singers talked like that would you be so understanding? hell no! i thought not. you just excuse it when it suits you. that’s racist!
Do you know not know the history of your country? I do not think you do.
look fool(andy) i am a former history teacher and have a masters. all you have is a big mouth and no brain to go with it.
I also have a Masters in History, so where does that leave your point?
Do you know the history of your country? I do not think you do.
dang, andy, you can’t even hold a written conversation. repeat, rinse, repeat, rinse. you are pathetic!
Lol, keep stalking me.
But he’s not fully African American if he’s half white. That’s a biological fact. Deal with that.
Hey, this will work out just fine: Whenever Obama makes a human mistake, white racists can blame the black half and black racists can blame the white half.
LOL,THE equal oppertunity potus..
How about we just say the amalgam is unqualified and be done with it?
thank you for the post and NQ for doing the right thing and reporting what is out there. This is a dying art.
People who spew this hate obviously have some serious issues. Anyone who stand idly by and says nothing and even encourages it, is just as guilty. Racism? Indeed, it is coming from the side accusing others of it.
Chalk it up to my lack of hipness, or my white self, or the fact that the generational divide has hit a new low, but these “performers” are obscene.
If Obama wishes to be an example for the black youth then he must decry these shout outs as does Bill Cosby. There is nothing dignified or talented about shouting out words like these to any crowd and the applause is unwarranted.
These thugs have made a pretty decent living out of lyrics that put down the women of their community and for Obama to be associated with them is pretty painful.
Wonder how Bill Cosby will react to Obama’s invitation to these losers which simply shows his willingness to mainstream their behavior? If this is a sign of “unity” then count me out. I wish to believe that I was raised better than that.
I was raised better than that. Respect and integrity are not generational…it is just the right thing to do.
i don’t think enough parents are teaching that these days…..
I guess I’m not in a very upbeat mood this morning.
I read another Arthur Silber essay (talking about the US and Israel) and found this statement….which, IMHO could just as easily apply to women and our equality.
Substitute women for indigenous peoples and you’ll get the picture:
“….the founding and development of both America and Israel required the large-scale…destruction of indigenous peoples. To further that destruction, and to provide moral “justification,” the indigenous peoples first had to be condemned and demonized. And because force and violence are necessary to the continuation of the State, such demonization must continue into the future, especially since additional acts of destruction will be necessary for the maintenance and consolidation of State power.”
Looking at who our “State power” is – both Repugs and the Obamanation who are actually interchangeable – and I’d say we’re whistling Dixie if we think things are going to change for women – now, and well into the future.
Jay-Z certainly seems to agree with that! And by extension, therefore, Obama.
well, now there’s an inaugural first… WTF??
Do you people realize how utterly insane you sound?
I understand being bitter and disappointed over Obama defeating Hillary but the posts and the replies here have jumped the shark.
No Quarter was at one time, a smart blog and the comments were interesting but you people have moved beyond the crazies at FOX News.
Really, get some help. Oh, and here’s a little item to further make your day, this is what the big, bad Obama has accomplished in 48 hours:
1. restored the Freedom of Information Act
2. signed executive order to close GITMO
3. signed executive order to ban torture
4. signed executive order to create task force to lead a systematic review of detention policies and procedures and a review of all individual cases
5. executive order delays the trial of Ali al-Marri, a legal U.S. resident who has been contesting his detention for more than five years as an enemy combatant in a military brig without the government bringing any charges against him
You really need to let it go. Barack Obama won and Hillary Clinton lost. The longer you embrace the crazies, the harder it will be to rejoin reality.
You DO realize that Obama now owns the next 9/11 ?
This is insight into how sick you loons are, you all are so desperate for O to fail that you’d accept a terrorist attack in order to prove your point. wow, just wow.
The reality is that those on the far left wished for retreat and defeat in Iraq and a collapse in the economy so that your messiah could win.
If the far left investigates and prosecutes those that have kept us safe and we get attacked again it will be the end of the democrats.
Your post, c-rancid- Andy, goes to show just how brownshirt your thinking is.
None of us want an attack, but just like 9/11 none of us has CONTROL over that, goob, and that would include you.
Who’s the first line of defense? Hillary Clinton, azzhole.
So you better start liking her alot.
Before some lovely terrorist decides to brush YOU off his shoulder.
What gives you the impression that I dislike HRC, you see, you do not have a point so you fabricate things. I am not like you, I do operate on a single track, to like the O is not to dislike HRC. I am proud of her but I think the right choice was made by the country in B.O.
All that gibberish you typed makes no sense, just more ranting from a deranged rightie.
Back at you ^^^
Not even close to being a rightie, by the way.
Sure you’re not you just dislike (a) the president or (b) democracy
I dislike corruption, Rancid.
Corruption is Obama’s best friend.
I’m not one of those. I live in NYC. I was a mile and a half from WTC. I had to walk miles to get home fleeing the downtown area. It was one of the singularly most ugly moment in my life.
For all those who live in other parts of the country where they feel ’safe’, I condemn such a cavalier attitude. Especially because the Iraq War is the reason we are less safe now because of all the terrorists who have been created in its path in the face of there being NO WMDs and the fact that not only did Sadaam and the Iraqis have NOTHING to do with the 9/11, Sadaam hated Al-Qaeda and Bin Laden, being the kind of dictator that didn’t want anyone that would threaten his regime. But George W. Bush went in anyway. And he and his ilk actually believe that it was America’s job to liberate Iraq and that the Iraqis are grateful.
Excuse me while I barf.
In all fairness, the entire country was fed up with Bush and had McCain won, or Hillary for that matter, they would have probably enacted many of these same Executive Orders, certainly at some point. The handwriting was on the wall and the majority of the country read it. The rest of you, not much.
I celebrate an era where diplomacy, once again will be the first order of action. BTW, the terrorist act of 9/11 didn’t just happen over night. It was being planned while Clinton was still president.
Having said all of this, I defend the right of people on this board to express their feelings about 0bama. For those of us who had our eyes open, the bitter after taste of 0bama’s victory lingers because of the way the msm, the so-called Progressive Left, steamrolled the entire process. Just watching the Caroline Kennedy soap opera unravel revives the vicious way the msm and the left gang banged Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, women of real accomplishment and who had EARNED it, while Caroline has been wrapped in the Kennedy cocoon and the press has coddled her as if she is stilll wet from the egg. A NY Daily news columnist still wants 0bama to give her something. GAG!
I don’t believe in wishing 0bama failure. To wish 0bama to fail is to want America to fail, and I certainly don’t want that. I can’t understand anyone calling themselves an American wanting that.
But please don’t nauseate me with tales of 0bama’s greatness, especially only 2 days into his administration. He was given every assistance in his path to the WH. He exploited AAs shamelessly, co-opting an experience he knows nothing about. He also took advantage of a spoiled, privileged American youth, who are grossly misinformed and miseducated. He tapped into the intense American male misogyny and I learned as a woman, an AA woman, that white males hate women far more than they harbor any racist attitudes. Interesting realization that was.
0bama is POTUS. Now he has to ’show me the money.’ Literally and figuratively. And tough shit on anyone who doesn’t like the fact that I’m not some guileless, overly-enamored Bothead who sees 0bama as some kind of God.
For example, when GITMO actually closes it’s doors, then I will celebrate. Right now, it’s just a piece of paper and there’s a lot that can happen between now and a year from now.
Instead of wasting your time chastizing us, grow up and stop being so naive. This is politics and the folks in Washington are waiting for the American voters attention to wane and move off of them. They’re all pandering shamelessly now.
If the truth be told, it will be the people on this board who will keep things honest and real, who will hold 0bama accountable. Not you sychophants who just want us to roll over and play dead like an 0bama pet.
And yes, I want to exert my Freedom of Information Right to see his freaking Birth Certificate.
Did he think no one would ask?
I hope he never ever releases his B.C just cos it’ll continue to annoy all you who believe he should have to.
H.R.C. is a woman of many accomplishments, one that makes me wish things for my own sisters but you know, O won the nomination fair and square. As for Sarah Palin, please, she was examined and found wanting and as one who has three sisters, I would have hated for S.P. to have been held up as the paragons of female accomplishment, a woman whose disdain for science and intellect was obvious at every campaign rally.
It’s too bad you can’t get beyond your idealogical differences with Sarah Palin in order to recognize that unlike Caroline Kennedy, she EARNED her political offices.
I am on opposite sides of SP politically. But as a woman, I admire what she has accomplished and her story of rising through the ranks as an average citizen.
Also, why do people automatically place public persons on a pedestal as paragons of virtue that must be mimicked point for point? It’s too bad that many refuse to hone skills of discernment. People of accomplishment are to be respected, but not slavishly bowed to like Gods.
I agree, Mimi. My politcal views never jived with Palin’s, but I was disgusted with the way she was treated by the “so-called” liberals and many of the old-guard feminists, who then had the nerve to stuff Caroline Kennedy’s inexperience down everyone’s throat.
It’s been a time of true revelation. For me at least!
I think you’d be surprised to find that I agree with you on most things you said but i did not dis S.P’s accomplishments, I am disgusted by her disdain for anything remotely intellectual, the woman could not name one daily newspaper nor a supreme court case sans Roe v. Wade, there is nothing admirable about that.
I am against Caroline Kennedy’s potential nomination to the senate, I feel that there are men and women in NY who are way better qualified, cos she is a Kennedy does not give her a special right.
Of course, I do not expect Politicians to be perfect but I expect them to behave in way which justifies the trust of the people, I do not feel this is too much to ask.
Rancid Candy–your disdain for something other than spin and regurgitation of talking points from obamabotHQ leaves me wondering if a lobotomy came with your Kool-Aide. I am disgusted by your support of a man who has a resume that is not worthy of the single page it could take up. I am disgusted that you follow the herd all the while bellowing “moo” but calling those of us who follow our own individual muses racist or behind the times or some other such unmitigated crapola. I am disgusted that you find no problem with gaming the system as That One did while all the while bloviating on and on and on about Sarah Palin, a woman who at least has her feet on the ground, unlike you bots who have your feet in the air and your heads up your rectal cavity.
A true intellectual would not make comments such as yours. Read a little Socrates via Plato. The truly wise man and so on.
Wow…with every post you make Andy, you show yourself to grossly uneducated, dangerously uninformed, and lacking in basic common sense. Was this the first time you were old enough to vote in an election or are you seriously as gullible as you seem?
Rancid Candy?
“O won the nomination fair and square?”
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
If there’s one way you can ALWAYS tell a scumbag troll it’s when they claim the Fraud actually won the nomination. Man do the Obutts kill me.
Hey RIP,
Just heard about the great social engineering plan presented by Robert Reich.
Infrastructure like bridges and roads need to be fixed quickly.
However, forget white males and professionals that know how to build bridges. Our new bridges will be built by the long term unemployed and minorities regardless of their ability to actually perform the task.
This is racism…Lets spend a lot of money rescuing the economy but white males need not apply.
MOSS,
Did you know I posted that link here of Robert Reich saying “NO WHITE MALE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS” should get jobs? Our country sucks and is in HELLLLLL….
This is hell!!….These left wing nuts are playing with fire.
You make everyone that voted against Obama a racist.
You turn morality upside down by making traditional Christians the villians.
You start investigating and prosecuting those that kept us safe.
Now you want to disenfranchise hard working white males.
The giant is awakening…
I personally hope they keep it up. Because when the backlash starts it will be irrevocable and I pray the leftie freaks are banished to CUBA.
oh i know they’ll overstep. i have always said obama is a one termer due more to the division he sponsored in the nation. the economy will improve with or without him. everything is in cycles. but the division and the race baiting. aa’s are 12% of the nation. i wouldn’t bet on those odds for relection.
I don’t think he will make it through ONE term without a pretty Tangerine Jumpsuit and some delicious Steel Bracelets. CRIMINAL.
GREAT comment.
You covered all the bases and I thank you for telling it like it is.
Go Mimi! Standing Ovation.
Hear, hear. Great post, Mimi.
Mimi, your rants are works of art. Thank you.
andy, shut the fxxx up! you are an embarrasment to yourself.
Says the dude who cannot comment without an expletive.
andy, i reverse that language for a dufus like you. and i am not a dude, fool!
well, dudette, tut tut, why ,pray tell, am I fool, cos i do not agree with you? hmmn, don’t be mad at me that your candidate lost. I am too happy right now.
andy, you embarrass yourself. go ahead show your butt. we are laughing at you right now.
Vico—I can see your lips moving, but all i can hear is “blah blah Obama blow me blah blah blah”
Freedom of Information Act?
WHERE’S THE EFFING BIRTH CERTIFICATE, BARACK?
Buzz,
LMFAO.
Exactly. I’m really glad he can let all the terrorists free to walk among us. Great news. Now how about that BC Mr. Transparency?
Open and transparent….hahahaha
What Obama did was to authorize racism by running a racist campaign himself. You may bull-shit yourself but don’t expect everyone else to buy it. Obama didn’t win anything, he stole it. But I suppose stealing and winning mean the same thing to you AASShole.
ummm, don’t think Obama has accomplished much in 48 hours other than retake the oath he screwed up first, and do a bunch of Hancocks. The work has been done for him and will be done for him. He’s just there for some other motive and I just can’t figure out which it is, but it certainly is not to govern…he doesn’t have the smarts for it.
You do know that it was the Chief Justice that screwed up right?
Aww heck forget it, you’re blinded by your hate
no, you don’t know that your man screwed it up FIRST by interrupting the CJ. yeah, right, forget it, you’re blinded by your kool-aid.
Lol, if it helps you sleep at night, cool.
you mean, kool.
did you not get your invitiation for the Kool Aid party?
please…he didn’t even know what he was signing until Emmanuel told him.
And rights to terrorists as one of his first orders?? Hardly anything to be proud of. Perhaps when the come to bomb your house, it won’t seem so wonderful. You Obots are pathetic. Go drink some more Kool Aid.
It took him 48 hours to do all that? I can sign my name 10 tens in about 30 seconds.
It’s a shell game. Those Gitmo detainees will now be housed in camps in the US. Obama is not closing the “black sites” where torture is conducted in secret.
The Fairness Doctrine was overturned by Congress. Therefore Congress has to restore it. Did they vote?
An executive order cannot trump law passed by Congress. Has the law passed by Congress authorizing torture been overturned by Congress?
Furthermore, we just got rid of a President that ruled by fiat. I want the process of co-equal branches restored. Not another President that changes things by the stroke of a pen. Wasn’t that one of the main criticisms of Bush?
I want the Constitution followed. Of course that would be silly of any real American.
I’d like to offer a different perspective. I don’t think Jay-Z was given a police escort because he rates more than, let’s say, Leonardo DiCaprio, it’s actually the SMART move by a police dept who really didn’t need any rapper thug violence jumping off during the Inaugural festivities which could have proved more costly, more deadly in the long run.
However, I do agree that these rappers’ words really do not serve the best interests of the 0bama administration, American youth and the country as a whole. They are divissive and not worthy of the ‘historic’ presidency that the msm has been pushing ad nauseum.
But this has been the problem with rap and hip-hop and their thug ideology all along. What’s going to happen from here is the painfully slow realization among rappers that they no longer have the same platform to espouse their ugly feelings. No longer are people going to tolerate their sense of self-righteous anger over racism, poverty and lack of opportunity.
Not anymore.
And really, what’s up with the misogynistic attitudes anyway? Are young black men, who in large numbers come from single mother homes, really venting hostility toward their mothers? Perhaps it’s time for that question to be asked, it’s certainly a legitimate one for this generation of angry AA men. I know my generation had nothing but reverence for their mothers and women were treated way more respectfully in spite of what Hollywood movies portray. What happened to end that? The only difference is the proponderance of AA males being raised in women-only homes.
Rappers and the entire AA community are going to have to get real.
It will take time. And certainly people should keep them on the carpet about this.
Ultimately, if this kind of thing continues, it’s going to be a nightmare for 0bama as his presidency moves forward. As an AA, I predicted that this would ultimately be the undoing for 0bama. Tavis Smiley was on MTP Sunday and he made interesting comments about this in response to an article which hailed the ‘brilliance’ of the 0bama campaign to marginalize and ignore the black leadership, citing the treatment of Tavis Smiley over his annual conferences on the State of the Black Union, which 0bama refused to attend last winter, as a kind of ‘test case’ or an example for the rest of the AA leadership. In response Smiley commended the ‘brilliance’ of the campaign strategy, then added that there is a difference between campaigning and governing, cautioning that 0bama would NOT be able to use this strategy now that he is POTUS.
I agree. But we will see.
It’s going to take some time. 0bama has his 100 days. This is the honeymoon period, never more so for the AA community.
But there comes the day when AAs realize what exactly 0bama’s presidency really means to AAs with regard to how the rest of the country now perceives us in the face of the monumental accomplishment of 0bama being the first black president.
It’s ony a matter of time.
Mimi,
As usual, you offer an amazing and thoughtful perspective. I always enjoy reading your contributions and comments.
Hope you are well.
I think you’re right. Can he represent ALL Americans and consider all their needs? I don’t think he had to do this during the campaign, as too many people were simply willing to believe whatever they wanted. It was sales.
But, now he has to be the American president, over a population that is still majority white and where a significant minority did not vote for him.
To do this legitimately will require overhaul of all his operations. No more dog whistles.
But honestly? I don’t see that happening. But it would be nice.
You cannot really believe that O will only represent AAs, come on, are you being serious?
Is that a trick question Candid Andy? Certainly none of his Cabinet choices indicate that he’s going to represent black people at all.
Get off that!
Stop with the peanut gallery comments. Find a Bothead board to party with and drink kool-aid.
Mimi,
Methinks you are old enough to make your point without coming across as an aggrieved child, hmmn.
I do not understand your above point, are you saying has too many black in his cabinet or not enough?
I do not suppose you people will find succour in the fact that I only drink fruit juice, Kool Aid has far too much saccharine in it.
thoughtful comment mimi. tell you what i don’t care for the media explotation and using the rap music to make a fast buck. the stuff it down our throats on tv all the time as if this reprsented aa culture. it is only a small part. i think the media and entertainment don’t serve the best interests of the aa community.
Yep, show us bro’s. You can’t ever grow up, act responsible and stop hatin’ and being angry.
Characters to be shown as cautionary tales in Warning videos.
If Obama doesn’t cancel his ass, that means Obama is finally admitting his desire to promote this nasty, hateful, name calling, sexist and racist behavior.
On you O.
Maybe God will help the black embrace what is right??
God has done his part. If the ignorant wish to stay that way for their own personal gain…you know, like Ayers, they CHOOSE that path on their own and have no one to blame but themselves. Only they can correct their own course.
I second that….
Lol now you’re mad at Rev. Lowery right? Jeez, no please you all woe on to the man who tries.
rap music!!! kids these days!! get off my lawn!!!!
If I were Beyonce, I’d walk away and dust off Jay Z. He’s just going to pull her down. Bad Boy meets talented young rising star. Another Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston.
btw Susan, thank you for a great and informative post.
What is the big surprise? White America witnessed this type of conduct the during the campaign and still went to the polls and provided the necessary majority that allowed him to win. He had 96% of the heaviest turnout of AA in the history of Presidential elections. They voted pride over qualification and I understand that, but white America was voting for something called change and “hopey dopey” or G.. knows what! We are going to have to live with this for at least fours years and maybe eight years.
96% voted out of pride? Says a lot for intellect or common sense and good judgement. Oh well, what the hell? Everything has been heading in that direction ever since Nixon and Watergate–Reagen was out of the loop, B. Clinton thought it was okay to get a blowjob in the oval office and GW bush decided to make Iraq his personal battle-ground. Other than that we had Ford who couldn’t sit at the dinner table without falling out of the chair and Carter who thought the universe ran on peanuts. Now there is Obama who thinks the way out of the so called “peak oil ” problem is to air up all the tires and the worlds problems are all due to “White Men’s Greed”.

Can you please get my last comment down??????
There was a BAD CUT AND PASTE!!!!!
tHANKS!!!!!
Damn,black and other minorities have been voting for white men since they recieved the vote, but you all weren’t mad then, check how many catholics voted for JFK, does that mean that they were unthinking in their choice? Man, you people astound me with your ignorance.
You stupid ass, you don’t get it do you? This isn’t about RACE. It’s about character. Try and keep up.
Candid Andy…Are you AA too? Maybe you can get off the soapbox, victim crap, and pull your head out of your OButt. There’s no “racism” here, other than the vile hate from people like JayZ and the Obamas. Period. WE aren’t the ones writing those vile lyrics. WE aren’t the Obamas, playing them for their female children. Nice example, huh? You don’t get it because you idiots have blinders on. Everyone who hates Obama is a “racist.” Guess the black people who hate Bush are “racists” too? Get over yourself you nut job. You have some big awakening coming freak. Big time. Go smoke some crack with your pals and celebrate. It won’t last long.
Lol, you see, this is where making silly assumptions will get you, no where. No, I am not AA.
Victim crap? dude, I am no one’s victim, trust me on that one.
Look at the vile hate marinated comment you just posted and you call me a nut job? Hmmn. Why are you mad? what is it?
NO, you’re just a victim of yourself, that’s all.
Susan, thank you for this timely piece.
These types of lyrics, and the people who use them fill me with revulsion!
I cannot tell you the amount of time I have spent in the aisles trying to find videos and CDs that we felt were appropriate to gift to our grand-daughters.
We finally gave up two years ago, and turned that over to their parents who are more aware of what goes on in their age group.
I haved rocked the night away, in my day, and love music, but this is pornography!
I was raised by an extremely racist father. I am white. I have fought my whole life to not let his ideas and beliefs become my own. I want to see people as people, judge everyone on an individual basis. I have been very successful. I credit myself as being open minded, excepting, understanding. But with a lifetime of hatred spewing out all around me it has been a challenge at times, but a rewarding one in my opinion. I am trying to raise my children to look at people and judge them by their deeds and actions on an individual basis and give respect accordingly. It is hard when forced to live in a world where my own pres. does not publicly come forward and put a stop to the terrible things happening today against non-blacks. How can I tell my children to love everyone as God wants us to if people the pres. supports are ranting hate filled words about anyone not black. Not to mention publicly disrespecting our former pres. George Bush. You do not have to agree with someones politics but the color of their skin does not make all of their decisions wrong or right. Pres. Bush was a great man because he served 8 yrs as an american pres. Whether or not I agree with his ideas and what not does not mean he did not serve his country. Pres. Obama has yet to prove anything good about himself and I still respect the fact that he is our pres. and the first black one at that. That my friends is a hard shoe to fill. A lot will be laid at his door to prove more so than any other pres. in history. He should be setting a standard higher than anyone has ever seen. Only then will trash like Jay-Z and Young Jeezy not matter anymore. But by acknowledging those morons as his friends and making himself a fan lowers my expectations and makes my job as a parent harder than before. I fear living in a generation where it is considered appropriate to down other races is not a rewarding one. I pray my children will successed as I have and fight the easier road of hate and anger and take a higher path, though more difficult of exceptance and equality. God Bless the USA
It keeps reminding me of President Camacho from the movie Idiocracy. Over and over.
whenever the Obots show up in pairs, they’re worried. If they weren’t, THEY WOULDN’T BE HERE. They must have run out of Kool Aid at the party….
Wodiej…You are SO right. Every time something bad is going on, the Bots show up in PAIRS. Do the idiots think we don’t notice it by now? LOL. WTF are they doing here? They should still be passing the crack pipe around. You won Bots. Now enjoy watching the country fall down around your dumb azzes.
Absolutely correct.
Off topic but related, what about the huge amount of garbage left behind in the mall by Obama’s supporters after the inauguration. Local Washington residents said they had never seen it so trashed. So much for the greenest inauguration.
No, that’s not off topic, we are talking about garbage….
lol
Okay…My friend from London at the BBC just told me that all over the UK News they are talking about how Obama demanded first to be sworn in on the Koran and was told that it “wasn’t appropriate.” LMFAO. Yeah, right, he’s a Christian.
You are a liar! I am in the UK working right now and this has not been on the BBC once, you are a sad liar who cannot make his point with the truth.
LMFAO…Yeah, right, you are in the UK now. I don’t lie honey. Never. I can actually post the email I got about it from my BBC friend this morning. Why would I make that up? Of course it’s true. But the Brits are well aware of the Fraud Obama is. Guess you, smartypants, read the newspapers there?
I am happy I caught you and friend in this lie. I read the independent and the Guardian. Damn, I cannot believe how much of a liar you are.
Obutt Troll…Read my post ignoramus…I didn’t SAY “it was on the BBC.” Ignorant azz, I SAID…”My BBC friend told me all over the UK news…” DO YOU READ? I don’t KNOW which media outlet it was on. She didn’t specify. She just said it was “all over the news in London.”
I am in London, and I watch the 7pm and 10pm news and not once have i heard this, so either you are lying or your friend is, either way someone’s pants are on fire.
LMFAO…I doubt you are in London. But I really don’t care what you think. My friend is a big exec. at the BBC. Enough said.
Err Ok. I do not have to prove to you that I am in london cos unlike you, I am not a liar. You and friend are making up tall tales to make yourselves feel better.
Rancid Azz Candy…As Stodgie says…London, Conn is probably more like it. You are a L-I-A-R Obutt Troll and nothing more. You probably have never even BEEN to London. ROFLMAO you people are such freaks.
Ok, I am not the one that was caught in lie dude, you were.
Dude? Hardly. You didn’t “catch” me in any lie. How did you do that? Because a nasty little high school Troll says it isn’t so? What a joke you are. Do you think ANYONE here believes the London thing? Or that you read the UK papers and watch the UK news? You have ZERO credibility here, you mess. When you can explain how I lied, let me know. I told the truth and we ALL knew he was going to ask to be sworn in on the Koran. And the second time he didn’t even bother with a Bible because he was in private. Any decent “President” could have found a Bible.
Lol, I wish I could prove the London thing to you just for fun but I cannot be bothered.
You do know that there is no constitutional requirement for a Bible, Q’uran or a Torah to be used? How comes all you hate spewers do not know the constitution.
Anyone online has instant access to numerous real-time BBC radio feeds from stations scattered all over the UK. You don’t even need broadband. There hasn’t been a word about this.
Maybe it would be helpful to post a transcript … or NOT … damned if I can make much out of the noise and screaming between the obsenities … is all that he is wearing an undershirt?
more like some of the trash they have yet to clean up from the Mall.
Is this one of the “guys” who BO let’s his “girls” listen to? Of course, the MSM media wouldn’t dare cover it … and who is paying for it?
Naw, it’s the people buying the crap/pornography that he sells … he is just being a venture capitalist! And, after all, it’s all about hope and CHANGE, right.
Makes me want to vomit! Not sure what America we have reclaiming but it sure isn’t any America I’m familar with no want to become acquainted with … but it does fit in with Lowrey who recited his little racist rant from the podium during the ignauration.
Well said!
Apparently, it’s not just the music Obama likes to listen too. They’re still talking about the ending prayer here on the radio and in New York. “Where Black is now right, where Brown can now finally come back, and let us pray that the White People can and will finally do what is right.” I don’t know if that is an exact quote I never watched it. They’re saying Obama never addressed it, he hasn’t apologized.
I listened to people who voted for him even calling in angry about that prayer. Shocked. I just laughed. I don’t know what people expected, he listened to Rev. Wright for almost 20 years. His own books… His “Just Words” speech wasn’t his words. His “Yes We Can” also came from another politician. His “Candidate of Change” mantra came from his cousin Odinga’s campaign and that man has been accused of commiting genocide against his own people! His own wife’s words.
I think I’ll just stick to praying he will be a good president. I never voted for Obama, but I’d honestly like to see him succeed…to be a great president. To prove everything I believe about him and what he really believes, who he really is, to be a lie.
Wonder what the guy means by white people finally doing what is right? Turn the country over to the blacks?
http://foliolit.com/fs-speakers.php
Looks like the same group of white men from the shrub administration to me ….
the problem was that any and every time that anyone tried to confront Obama with his racism, they were flipped off … Hillary and all the others were held hostage to that charge if they dared challenge him … as were the voters.
It’s too bad that America isn’t an Equal Opportunity Flipper and she and everyone he insulted, demeaned, patronized and offended couldn’t flip him right back – after all, they were racist if they did!
He was still dusting off the shoulder yesterday when he spoke about getting up and dusting oneself off … the message remains the same … and it sure is way past time to give up the childish things. I wish he’d at least give it a try
Meanwhile we’ll all wait until our first African-American president, one of character and not just of colour as MLK intended, takes that oath of office sometime in history and we can celebrate the same way if a woman were to “allowed” to be chosen. Women dancing, singing and celebraing with a racist misogynistic gangster? Wonder if they call themselves “feminists” too?
While Donna Brazile is on the teevee bragging about how she snatched the blanket he actually sat on as a souvenir … people of character?
-While Donna Brazile is on the teevee bragging about how she snatched the blanket he actually sat on as a souvenir … people of character?-
bet she takes a swig of kool-aid and a big, long sniff of that blanket before putting her wideload cul-de-sac to bed at night now.
Obama went out of his way to condemn Don Imus and implied that he should be fired…”he would not be working for me”.
Let’s see if his objection to racist remarks goes two ways…my guess is that Obama stays silent on JayZ and the black thugs.
You knew this was going to happen because these people helped Obama get in office. It’s payback time. That’s one of the biggest problems with Obama–way too many people to pay back.
Don’t forget, Obama fed this racist bullcrap when he went before mostly black audiences during the campaign and uttered Spike Lee’s anti-white, racist venom from his “Malcolm X” movie.
Here’s the video that shows how Obama did this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuB_W8o_UsU
“rosa parks sat so martin luther could walk
martin luther walked so barack obama could run
barack obama ran so all the children could fly
so I’ma spread my wings, you can meet me in the sky.”
Jay-Z
how DARE you say all hip hop is crudely dysfunctional ejaculation? That’s a much more crude, judgemental and offensive statement then anything I’ve found in Jay-Z’s lyrics.
Free speech, baby! ^^^^
Get used to it. The whole black culture is under the microscope, now – the good and the blatantly bad.
Hip Hop and Rap will be the first to go!
Did you watch the video? There was nothing uplifting in it. You are proving the point. If Jay-Z can write songs like that then why the foul language and denigration of women?
Selected quotes do not an entire category make, dud. There are a scant few gems but the vast majority of rap and hip-hop is rubbish deserving of high-temperature heat treatment.
These lyrics are offensive. Rosa Parks and Martin Luther were of a whole different world, culture and character than Obama. More fairy tale stuff going on here.
A long time back, blues was highly suspect. Late 1950s AM radio was segregated and some ranted about the socially destructive potential of “race music”. Rock ‘n roll had its early detractors. By the 1960s rock was nothing more than an advert for promiscuity, drug use, rebellion, and communism. (Damned hippies.) Shortly after, metal was obviously nothing short of satanic.
The Taliban certainly know how to deal with this sort of stuff. One could probably be stoned to death for possession of an accordian…
Early rap was mostly social commentary. I know, I listened to it. There was no swearing, glorification of violence, or calling women b*tches and wh*res. I would let any child or adult listen to it.
If a Neo-Nazi group was putting out lyrics about killing black folks and demeaning women think of the howls of outrage. Pot meet kettle.
Cynic:
You’re comparing music to droning. Blues, jazz, rhythm and blues and other such music is lyrical, melodic and requires more than a modicum of talent. None of these talentless boobs could hold a candle to the stars of yesterday.
I was recently listening to Sly and the Family Stone–now that was music. War was a stellar group. Hell, MC Hammer has boatloads of talent in comparison to the rap and hip-hop hucksters of today.
The only thing you’ve convinced me of is that you have no taste in music.
I wasn’t suggesting I like the stuff. I’d sooner be trapped in an stuck elevator for 3 hours, subjected to continuous accordian band renditions of 70’s disco favorites.
Then what isn’t music shouldn’t be parlayed as music. That is my point. The bot or hip-hoppers ot rappers can pontificate until they’re blue around the gills. It isn’t music.
Music is music and chanting is chanting. The two are not indentical. The former takes talent; the latter only takes an ability to follow the lead chanter.
R&B in the early to mid 50’s was segregated because a lot of black music aimed at the lowest common denominator…”Annie had a baby, yes she did, Annie had a baby, it’s not my kid”…and “Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle wiggle wiggle, I just love your sexy ways” and who could forget…”60 Minute Man”. My friends and I listened to the black R&B music station out of Oakland with a DJ named “Jumpin’George” because it was forbidden. We didn’t have a clue as to how to have sex. I don’t want my grandchildren listening to the modern evolution of that swill…Rap. But, if we make it forbidden, they will. We expose them to everything else instead, knowing that the bottom feeder music will fall by the wayside.
well said.
And can we just establish for once and for all that there is NOTHING RACIST OR MYSOGINIST ABOUT GETTING THAT DIRT OFF YOUR SHOULDER?
No.
you are as full of sxxx as a christmas turkey. don’t tell us the sky is green. we have ears and eyes. what a shame you don’t use yours.
Not unless the association you are making and the context is that Hillary is the dirt. Which was his point.
Obama had to ask his lawyer what 2 of his executive orders said, he didn’t know all that was in them…
LOL…PATHETIC.
wodiej…LMFAO…I bet they just hand him crap and he signs it. LOL LOL LOL. And they don’t expect that the White House “leaks” aren’t going to catch the Fraud EVERY time he screws up? Two days in and he’s bungling all over the place.
Obama=Governor Le Pitome in Blazing Saddles.
Well, somebody has to do something to justify their phoney-baloney jobs.
William J. LePetomaine,
Governor
LOL…link?
Says the dude who cannot make a comment without using an expletive.
yawn! andy you are boring! you have no real comment worth reading that explains or justifies your views. we are all liars and picking on poor you. yeah! sure!
Lol, dudette, put the pipe down, i am enjoying my banter with you folks.
pandy andy, i don’t have to pipe down because i am not piped up. banter implies some type of worthwhile communication. nothing you write fits that description. you are troll trying to stir it up and failing. face it andy, you are a failure. and london? it must london conn where the internet cafe won’t run you off for refusing to order more than one coffee.
Don’t hate cos I finished college and I can work in London, you too can do it. You’re so angry, i’d suggest therapy
Yeah, well, I’d suggest giving the diploma and degree back, if there is either. But, then you’re as transparent as your first love Obama.
So, you are both lying.
lol, the hate burns through you. I have two degrees, nothing stopping you getting yours.
Judging from your illiteracy, either you went to ITT or got those pieces of paper overseas in a diploma-mill.
An educated person does not use “words” such as “cos”, irrespective of reason.
Stupidity and ignorance tend to be a hindrance.
Yippiieee….It’s a
SHITSHIFT CHANGE from Camp Obama…a new Troll to make fun of. Watch out NQ family, this one is particularly vile.the voters who voted for obama the term you pay to play refers to you also. now you pay for the play. all of the red flags were there. abusing women, race baiting, a mean spirited wife, rev wright, ayers, j jackson the third. and the people that wanted change so much and didn’t ask real questions just got it. enjoy!
my president is black in fact he’s half white
so even in a racist mind he’s half right
so if you got a racist mind you be alright
my president is black… but his house is all white.
rosa parks sat so martin luther could walk
martin luther walked so barack obama could run
barack obama ran so all the children could fly
so I’ma spread my wings, you can meet me in the sky
already have my own clothes already have my own shoes
I was hot before barrack, imagine what I’m gonna do
hello ms America, hey pretty lady
red white and blue flag… wave for me baby
never thought I’d say this shit, baby I’m good
you can keep your puss I don’t want no more Bush
no more war, no more Iraq
no more white lies, my president is black.
WHAT PART OF THAT WAS RACIST?
You know two thirds of the people complaining have not heard the song, they’re mad and they don’t even know why, it’s crazy.
You know that’s not the song that is being referred to. Talk about bait and switch. Look at the video. There’s nothing positive for uplifiting in it. It’s full of swear words.
Oh and MLK said we should be judged, not by the color of our skin, but the content of our character. So what difference does it make if the President is black? How is that not a reference to race?
Look at the little bots talking to themselves. ^^^^
Have you gained any ground here yet with your feeble defense of trash?
Thought not.
Why do we have to continually tell bots where to expend their energy. Clueless doesn’t even begin to cover it.
Hint: Hillary and Obama are about to speak to the State Department. Here will be a clear opportunity to look at class next to trash.
Here will be a clear opportunity to look at class next to trash.
ROFL
well, having these dufuses run amuck works against them long term. talk about the mother of all backlashes. the hispanic community overall doesn’t care for the aa politicans. the aa community is distrustful of illegal workers. that won’t jell.
the average american will put up with this crap only so long. when they turn, they don’t turn back. obama will lose the next election from the beginning of his first term with this type of hoopla. the aa community is 12% of the population more or less. your long term chances are being blown big time for power and advancement.
Yeah, Stodgie, they gave us Shrub so they could use him as a punching bag. Now they gave us That One and I suppose they have already got around to using him as one, too. Not a care in the world as to how it might affect us as a nation, the derelict douchebags.
When will the American electorate learn that journalism is dead and buried and that one may as well flip a coin as follow any recommendation given by the mainstream media?
Oops, this should have been for Buzz Latte, Stodgie, sorry about that.
Ferd
A little OT but CNN is already trashing Obama for his less than stellar performances in front of the cameras.
And so it begins…
ROFL Buzz…I always said that the same people who committed the fraudulent journalism, and got Obama “selected” would be the ones to turn on him like rats deserting the sinking ship. Can’t wait for the day when Chris Matthews has to admit he was wrong. Now THAT will be a true moment in history.
How disappointing. This kind shit bothers me to no end. I NEVER understood the whole using of the N-word within the black community and saying it’s means something else when they use it on each other. WHAT??! You can’t have it both ways. You don’t hear other minorities calling their own a derogatory term.
An funny how they thank their mothers when accepting an award. Their moms must be so proud. Stay classy Jay Z. Even with all that money, you show us all you’re nothing but trash.
Jazz is the music of the devil! Its trash and it destroys wholesome communities and children!
Oh no, wait….
Rock n’ Roll is the music of the devil! Its trash and destroys wholesome communities and children!
Oh no, wait…
Rap! No, we’re sure this time, its RAP that’s the music of the devil and its trash and destroys wholesome communities and children!
You guys are so laughable now. Obama got elected (I thought he was unelectable?) and now he’s doing the things he was elected to do, like close Gitmo and end torture, among a host of other things. And your panties are in a bunch because you’re old, you’re irrelevant, you’re out of touch and you have no idea what you’re talking about, and you’re scared to death of big bad mean ol’ Jay-Z, a multimillionaire and business owner living the American Dream. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
*Look at who they let in the back do’*
I could not have said it better myself.
Be honest, Rancid Candy, you can’t say anything better yourself. You are functionally illiterate.
Indeed i iz stoopid, u wan teach me?
You can start by using “you” in lieu of “u”. The other illiterate crap is not worth my time, bot. Your use of non-standard English is not in your best interest. That you think it is cool only demonstrates that you are a follower and a rather pathetic one, at that.
English is a beautiful language. You should use it sometime.
Lol at you teaching me English, you’re nothing but a cretin.
My use of non-standard English? Care to give me an example sans my clearly sarcastic response
Psst: Goober–Rap is not music.
Yep, people like you said that about jazz and rock n’ roll too, and you’ll say it about the next musical style that comes along that black people and young people listen to. How friggin’ predictable you sorry people are.
Hey, oh no, moron that you are…Rock, Jazz, etc. music never had the kind of vile, hate filled CRAP that your nasty azz music does. Never. Big difference. You are the sorry azz that has no class, education, or knowledge. Pathetic POS troll.
HAHA sure try rewriting history some more. Rock and jazz had the EXACT SAME ARGUMENTS made against them at the time. Same crap, different generation. Suck it up, you’re as scared and xenophobic as your grandparents were.
oh ho, you are so stupid you know nothing about rock and roll or jazz. their history and language in the music is not the same in any way. your comparison is a nonstarter just like you.
And you apparently have no inclination to read up on what you’re talking about. Jazz and Rock n’ Roll were both railed against for the fake moral “outrage” they inspired – loose women, drugs, drinking, unChristianlike behavior that they inspired – and oh my gosh the DANCING! And it was all thinly veiled racism, just like it is here with rap. Same crap, different era. So sorry you’re old and unable to recognize your own biases and fear of change. Sucks to be you I guess!
You feeling the subs, kicking it on culdesacs out in the burbs vibing to beats? Man, you iz RUGGED.
Do your math homework.
You are bereft of any knowledge of the old styles as demonstrated by your silly comparisons. Are you 12 or younger?
oh no…Point out EXACTLY where the “racist” comments are here. EXACTLY. I want your lying, filthy, Obutt ass to show us WHERE the “racism” is. Thought so. Poor poor oh no…clinging to his “race card.” What a little freak.
About as predictable as you are in your defense of trash. Rap and Hip Hop are under the microscope. Get used to it, bot.
You’re gonna have to suck up your own bad taste!
Like rap hasn’t been under the microscope before – like 20 years ago. You guys can’t even get your outrage timed correctly. No one cares, except for some out of touch scaredy-cat xenophobes. Go watch Murder She Wrote reruns and enjoy your impotence.
oh no…Wow…Camp Obama is breaking out the seriously low rent OButt scum today. No one is listening to your crap. Go take a bong hit you LOSER.
Thanks, I think I will! Boy you old farts are gonna crap your pants when Obama legalized marijuana in his second term…oh my gosh that means the darkies are gonna come steal our white women! (PS read up on why pot’s illegal in the first place, not that I expect you to educate yourself in any way)
Umm my guess would be that “oh no” is about 15 years old. A few hormones pumpin, no way to prove you’re a man, can’t drive yet, and the thought of actually joining a gang and spending life in prison makes you shit your pampers.
But, hey, keep practicing the tough guy routine. Surely your fourteen year old girlfriend, or boyfriend for that matter, will love you inspite of yourself.
oh ho, you don’t know shxx about music. that is soooooooooooooooo clear. give it up! i almost feel sorry for you.
And you know nothing about recent history, which is even sadder. Go ask your grandfather what they used to say about Elvis.
Elvis had mediocre talent-your heroes can’t even make marginal in the talent arena.
Dumbass–you’re dealing with people here who know more about music than you will ever know. Recent history–LMAO. Your use of the adjective “recent” says it all, child.
What degree does Brian May hold?
I love rhythm and blues, blues, jazz, rock and roll, and even some country.
I also like new-wave, punk, and bluegrass.
You think I’m anti-black? Try again, asshat. I also listen to the Ohio Players, War, and Hammer (who actuallyhad some good stuff).
You on the other hand, know nothing about music. It isn’t about race, moron–it’s about lyrics, style, and the music itself.
Beethoven was a musician; Ludacris, not so much.
As a parting shot–you have zero (0) taste in music.
Thanks, good to know me and the rest of the people with no taste in music have made rap a multibillion dollar musical genre!
“I don’t hate black people, I just hate that evil RAP” is the saddest excuse ever. They said that about jazz too. Face it, you’re old and getting older and you’re stuck in your tiny little bubble of what you think is acceptable or enjoyable or artistic, and no one else cares (except for people like me who just come here to laugh at the ridiculous crap y’all spew out). Keep it going!
oh ho, you are no music genius. you don’t what we like, who we know or whether we might even play in a band in our spare time. you don’t know jack shit! so stop embarrassing yourself!
So playing in a band is a requirement to acknowledging what is “real music” or not? Amazing, I’ve never heard that rule before! Tell me more! What TV shows can I like – better go ask a TV executive! What art can I like – better ask a house painter!
Hey Ferd, your eclectic taste in music is a lot like mine. Maybe you’ve seen me at the concerts–I’m probably the only old guy down front in the mosh pit who’s wheeling an oxygen bottle. And I still have the strength to swing it, so those kids had best stand back!
Come to think of it, this thread is a mosh-pit.
Straw man argument. It’s the MISOGYNY. Obviously Obama’s cult-of-personality utterly destroys the powers of discernment – or maybe they were never there at all.
Yep, Jay-Z is so horrible to women that Beyonce wouldn’t even date him much less marry him. Jay-Z hates women so much he doesn’t support his elderly mother that raised him as a single mom. Boy you guys sure got everything figured out!
The lyrics speak for themselves.
Well thank GOD someone’s standing up against those horrible words! Actions mean nothing! Words are everything! CENSOR JAY-Z!
Words are tools that can be sharper than a sword and more powerful than an army. That your Anointed One became POTUS proves that. I guess you slept through school and most of your life, huh, illiterate one?
And isn’t it fantastic that in America you can still use them to say practically anything you want, even if it scares the hell out of old people who fear anything outside their front door?
sigh, oh ho, you are the one who is scared and i think a self hater.
The rubber/glue argument? Oh my color me mortally wounded by your wit!
oh ho thinks it’s a wit! witless is more like it!
were you afraid of lil ole sarah palin?
just asking!
or big ole hillary?
I really wouldn’t pay attention to someone who is clueless as to what transpired during this sham of an election.
I’m really quite 100% positive that “ohnoes” didn’t spend a full Saturday afternoon watching the RBC meeting (ahem, travesty).
Therefore, why take the person serious when they’re defending shit music and shit behavior.
Oh, but don’t forget, according to Sen Bill Nelson:
“Harlem is not Bill Clinton’s plantation”
racist say wha-?!?
actually you are being used by jay z to make a buck. he is laughing at you all the way to the bank. who is the fool? you!
Oh my gosh…thank you for lifting the veil from my eyes! I don’t like rap because I actually enjoy it…no…it was JAY-Z’s MIND CONTROL POWERS that made me buy it! He’s so EVIL! And WRONG! BWAHAHAHAHA
No, you’re just a dumbass.
like i just said, oh ho, you are really making a fool out of yourself.
You can’t even reply to a comment in a thread on a blog post correctly and you’re saying I’m the fool! Hell you guys provide endless entertainment.
no, i am writing it. YOU ARE A TOOL AND A FOOL!
Boy thanks for that great insight! Fantastic argument! A++ would laugh hysterically at your patheticness again!
yeah right! that is the best you can do? i imagine your pink slip is waiting.
No, but your money now belongs to him and you now own something you won’t listen to in about two years.
But, I’m sure that’s all WAY over your pointy little head, oh no.
Beyonce and Jay-Z? ROFLMAO.
She is the one against which you decide what is in good taste in a man and he is the epitome of what constitutes proper treatment of a parent? You are truly shallow and on your way to a particularly difficult adulthood,
Considering 1. She married him and 2. she probably knows him better than anyone except his mother who he continually gives props to both in his music and in his life…I think they’re slightly better judges of what his attitudes are towards women than you! But please, don’t let me stop you from judging others!
oh ho, dang! quoting fan magazines sure isn’t something to use in a pathetic effort to post here.
Ok, tell me the logic behind claiming that a man’s wife and mother are the two closest women to him is somehow a factoid only gleened from a fan magazine. You’re SO pathetic. Maybe the closest woman in his life is Angela Bassett oh noooooooo!
I’m talking about you, moron. There are better examples to be had. You are a stupid little bot who thinks “stars” have all the knowledge.
Let me clue you in bot: they aren’t making your life better, they’re making THEIR life better at your expense.
You are as dumb as pounded manure.
Boy, way to attribute intent based on your own biases! I just like the music and always have. You’re the one thinking somehow they hold satanic sway over…well…I’m not sure exactly what you think because frankly it makes no sense, just like it made no sense when the same crap was said about rock and roll and jazz music. Wrap it up, head back to the old folks home!
still clinging to your old less than valid argument is well the same as jazz and rock n roll i see. naw! won’t fly little fellah. try again. old folks home? actually i am probably about your age.
I never mentioned the word satanic–just stupid. You obviously aren’t literate.
Buh-bye, troll.
Does that mean that you will stop judging others also, oh no?
Blues and jazz were the result of actual life experiences of black folk. It wasn’t about denigrating other black folk. It wasn’t about white folk. It was our music for us.
There many older conservative black folk, my grandmother was one, that didn’t approve of that type of music either. But I guess she was a racist too.
Nope, just using arguments used by racists to justify their racism. Hope that makes you feel better!
Check this out.
Ole Colin Powell into the sauce. I guess Stupid is the new Black.

I am black myself and to see Jay Z, Yung Jizzy and the rest of the Hip Hop mob act this way is embarrassing.
First of all every black thug need to pull your pants up and comb your hair, wash your A$$, learn how to speak beside No A Mean, get some class.
The world is watching we have a Bi-racial President and his black side is acting up, Obama needs to call this out and do it NOW!!!!!
Stay in school fool, take care of the babies you make. Get God in your life, every time you put somebody on a Pedestal, they pee and you every time.
God is the one who will get you out of this mess not MAN, Man put us here. Go to God in prayer and see the change.
thanks ladynite for your thoughts. i wish the media would leave the rappers out of it. they use them to make money. media and entertainment are making a fast buck and don’t represent the aa community that well.
Oops, that is supposed to be every time you put some one on a pedestal, they pee on you everytime.
You are welcome Stodgie.
People better get it right. How can you gain respect when you don’t respect yourselves.
I Cringe every time I see one of my black fellow man with us pants hanging under their butt cheeks.
And to come on Television like that is embarrassing, you are on National television and the whole world is watching, and here come the rappers on the stage with their pants hanging almost to the ground especially when I see Lil Wayne I want to slap some sense in his head.
Respect yourselves than others will respect you.
I don’t even listen to popular rap to be honest, I am more of Common, Little Brother fan but I defend their right to make it, the beautiful thing is that you do not have to consume it if you do not like it. That’s the long and short of it.

Rancid Candy…Wanna see how whites are second class citizens. This is a good one…talking about new jobs for people and “not giving them to white male construction workers.” LMAO. The backlash is coming.
I think you have been over indulging in the kool aid. Wow, your hate blinds you.
Oh yes, the “music stylings” of Jay-Z have brought dignity and honor to Our country and confirms that the 2008 selection of Mr. Soertoro/Obama was about giving a voice to the downtrodden misogynists and unfulfilled hatemongers who worked so hard to steal votes for him. There is no doubt that Mr. Jay-Z is showing the world an American face rarely seen since the days of the Ugly American. What George W. Bush began in 2000 will be continued by The Obama and Jay-Z will be here to capture it with song for the world to remember. Uh huh!
OK, we’ve had enough of the bots on this thread. Could we stop responding now? It’s gotten to be a boring go around.
I’m with Annie. Obviously the Obutt Trollz know that their loser boss is screwing up already, or they wouldn’t BE here in their little “team” formation. If we ignore them, won’t they go away???
I’m 100% thrilled with the real work Obama’s gotten done in his first two days. I’m just here to laugh at your sad sorry impotent tirades. The next 4 years are gonna be AWESOME!
agree, the next 4 yrs r gonna b AWESOME, esp. the depression part.
Do you goose-step, too, ugly duckling?
Just like parts of your body, you get thrilled over the smallest of things, oh no.
AGREE! Esp that (again, like Obama, say opposite of what you do) [not] Candid one. lol
Who started instantly trying to change the conversation.
Mark him as “SCROLL ALERT” lol
in other words,
“Scroll the troll“
Well, I broke the ban on CNN at our house and watched Hillary’s address to the Department of State.
Hillary is really running the country. That was completely evident and Presnitwit Teleprompter did his best imitation of a game of ping pong.
He’s just the brand, he ain’t the man.
Some pretty telling words from JayZ and this is what and who the president wants to promote?
“The ‘History’ record is really about — once again — about making history,” he explained. “But I use different words as if they were women: ‘Success. I met success and success was a sister of defeat.’
You know, if you listen to the record it’s pretty much talking about trying to find victory, victory being a woman, and so me and victory can make a kid — the kid being history, and then history tells your legacy. It’s deep but it’s fun. It’s not really that complicated.”
mmmhmmmm. He sure has and uses a lot of words as women.
i might start rattling of words that mean Jay Z. lol
Here’s a test for music lovers at NQ (and for bots who think they are experts at everything):

Actualy I was going to besmirch you–then I got it–My bad. ROFL
Now tell me the asnwers. You can do most of them. I’m sure.
Sorry Ferd. Nope, I can’t answer your Qs because I don’t know. I like Music but I can’t much remember past “stardust”. Didn’t mean to be or sound smart-ass, just admitting I don’t know. I’m an old relic, but I can tell you (honestly) that Harry S. Truman’s [ugly] daughter was a terribile musician and it pissed him off to no end when anyone told the truth about it. LOL!!! Music is great, but I somehow can’t hear the “MUSIC” in RAP.
I can’t hear the music in rap, either, truth. Stay tuned–I think Buzz is going to get all of them.
I LOVE music. My collection numbers in the thousands-from classical to rockabilly and beyond.
Well, if you love music, check out ‘Like Water For Chocolate’ by Common.
I assure you that you won’t be disappointed.
I may do that. However, if it is just more claptrap from generation Duh, I will come back to haunt you.
As Buzz can attest, I know a LOT about music and don’t limit myself to passing fancies.
Open you mind dude, I listen to the oldies.
Curtis mayfield
Marvin Gaye
Otis reading
Sarah Vaughn
Pink Floyd
Rolling Stones
Donny Hathaway
Areth Franklin
The Four Tops
Fela
John Coltrane
and so on.
you don’t know about my taste in music dude.
You spelled Sarah Vaugh(a)n wrong and she was the first on my list. So much for your attention span.
Typo, don’t get too high on that. There’s no getting though to you, I know.
Yuk fu, uncarved block.
I think you are really losing it, dude.
Do you know what the uncarved block is, know-it-all? I though not.
One should not post when they are ignorant of the content to which they are replying.
Clue to number 3: do wine, dig that girl
Clue to number 4: fighting in the streets
Clue to number 8: but I would not feel so all alone
Another entry:
What degree does Brian May hold?
I’m at a loss, Buzz. Tell me. Then answer mine.
Brian May, guitarist for Queen, has a doctorate in Astrophysics.
I’m working on yours, without a wand, I might add.
ROFL, Buzz.
A doctorate in astrophysics. Wow. I’m just a lowly chemist. No wonder I liked them. I’ll put that in my anal-retentive, scientist memory bank.
And you’ll get all of them right–I’m counting on it.
Number 10: The song was done by Fleetwood Mac and specifically with Lindsey Buckingham on lead vocals.
Number 9: Bob Dylan wrote it. ?
yes to your first
yes to Dylan–What was the title?
Number three: Eric Burdon
Number five: the Who
YES!
The answer to the fourth has to do with how Bush and That One are related, as in Meet…
Number 8: Rainy Day Women
I want to say that
Number 6: James Brown got down just for the funk of it.
But, you may need to give me a clue.
It is from the song “One Nation Under a Groove”.
You should get the artist from that, Buzz.
You’re doing great!
Again, duh. It had to have been Funkadelic.
Got it!
YES–Bob Dylan
Number 4: Duh, it took me a minute…Meet the new boss, same as the old boss?
You got it
Number two:
Stevie Ray Vaughn was uh cajun…?
I saw him and Bonnie Raitt in concert a few months before he died. It was incredible.
Loud amps!!!
Here’s one for the trolls:
Who was declared “God” in late 1960’s Great Britain?
Still looking, Buzz
LOL There were time when I would hear his music and thought it was Jimi H.
He was a true guitar player.
Number 1: Sarah Vaughn was African American.
The – my shadow weighs 42 pounds has me stumped. Was Weird Al Yankovic involved in any way?
You are stellar!
1 is correct
My shadow weighs 42 pounds was in the Weird Al parody of Bad, called Fat.
And my shadow weighs 42 pounds, let me tell you once again, who’s fat>
I tend to be a bit of a rocker.
Although, my personal collection ranges from easy listening to world music to r and b to hard rock, etc.
Just to be fair: I like: one rap song from Vanilla Ice. LOL!!!
Ferd, if you like guitar, check out Steve Lukather’s version of Pink Floyd’s “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” or his actually better version of George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”
HIs own stuff is just killer also. He was voted Number 1 rock guitarist in a poll last year.
I’ll check it out, Buzz. I’m always on the lookout for new rock.
Thanks for playing along with me on this little trivia contest.
Google takes all the fun out of it. I remember the days when knowing who was the lead singer of The Cadillacs or The Penguins, or what label The Charts singing Desiree was on, and what was on the other side, commanded real respect among your peers. You can say “no fair googling,” but who really knows? The glory has gone out of rock n roll trivia.
I know, but I did give Buzz some loo-loos, oowawa. I don’t know if many could get them without an encyclopedia for a brain.
I have an audiophile relative that plays Name that tune, group, year, music genre, etc at the drop of a hat.
I’ve listened and learned as a defense mechanism.
ROFL.
My wife and I play “name that tune”, too. It is good for the grey matter. She often catches me but I remember after that.
Eric Clapton was declared God on a wall in England.
“Clapton is God” was scrawled across a wall. It’s a great rock trivia question, no?
You got me on it. Excellent. I’ll ask my wife about that one (and win one for a change)!
Hey Ferd, where did all the trolls go?
===Crickets===
LMAO, Buzz. I think they don’t know music as well as they might think they do. I have a million of them as I’m sure you do. Bottom line–we’re too savvy to their regurgitation of the obvious.
The Trolls–obscure psych-garage band from the ’60’s. Long gone by now. All dead, probably.
Hey trolls–I’m laughing in your general direction. You come to NQ and talk about the history of music as a means of justifying your poor taste and you can’t answer a single question I posted above.
I laugh in your general direction. Your knowledge of music consists of someone pointing you to an iPod.
Don’t be so presumptuous, taste in music in subjective, relax.
I am not a Fleetwood Mac fan, does that mean I do not know music?
I am not presumptious, troll–Take the test, child, if you think you can pass it, being all-knowing as you apparently think you are. You are the one who made all the foolish statements about the past and music–one which you are clueless about.
Your try wasn’t even a try. You failed. The Fleetwood mac song was from 1987, probably the year before you were born. Try the harder ones.
I did not take your test because you are not the arbiter of good taste or good music, my mind is always open to new things, recent or older, cos music is my first love. I’ll listen to anything that’s good, from Bossa Nova to Afro beats. That’s the joy of good music.
If you think rap and hip-hop are music, you don’t know good music.
I give up, seems you prefer myopia and narrow mindedness, good luck bruh.
I ain’t your “bruh”, assuming one. You ain’t even in my league, buster.
The myopia begins with your blinders and not my taste in music, troll.
Hmmm. That would put us on the M-List or the N-List. We’ll never get invited to any cool parties at this rate.
On second thought, I think that as far as Obama Nation is concerned, we’re pretty much all already on the S-List. We won’t be invited to boogie-down with Jay-Z & Beyonce anytime soon!
You didn’t take the test because you didn’t know the answers. Get real,, obot.
Lol, oh ok. Your little test proves that you all know music, I could devise my own test and you would not know one single answer. but it matter not,what you know is best, right?
Yes, but would it really be a test about – MUSIC?
Excellent, Buzz, and a tip of the Tam O’ Shanter.
No one said it did, child. I only said you were the one who brought up all the old style music as if you knew anything about it. I lived through a lot of it, unlike you and everything I asked was done on the fly by memory with no notes, no internet to help me, and no coaching. You see, unlike you, I grew up in a world where you had to remember everything because it wasn’t there a mouse-click away. You boobs think you know everything because you can sit at a desk and find it by exercising your flimsy wrist. That is no challenge at all. Try to remember something by rote memory. I bet you’d whistle a different form of Dixie, then.
Lol, you know nothing about me and what I know or otherwise. This is the problem with you all, you’re narrow minded and you keep equating being young with being stupid. Are you just mad cos you are old? what is it?
equating being young with being stupid.
Ruuuunnnnn Forest!!!
ROFL.
Narrow minded? LMAO. You always change the subject away from YOU, like every “good bot” (a contradiction in terms) before you. I stand by all my statements, Goober. Am I mad because I’m old? Again, LMAO. If you get to be as old as me, you’ll be lucky, punk, because you’re wet behind the ears, gullible to a fault, and believe you know everything there is to know. You’re the sort who would argue with the Pope concerning matters of Dogma. And the Pope would kick your ass, in case you didn’t know.
i demand a better class of troll. who do i write about this issue? at least ubm makes the occasional pun with the sexual innudeno. thought it is rather high school, at least it can be sorta funny. this group of trolls are full of themselves and don’t have any reason to be. ugly little trolls!
You’re spot on. These trolls are basement dwellers. I can just make out their chin-strapped beanies and cheeto-encrusted cheeks.
Have noticed that the more erroneous your point is, the more you resort to name calling? hmmn? Not to worry I am thick skinned.
Hey, age is not a pre-requisite for wisdom and that is so true in you case. You may be old but you do not possess an iota of wisdom, just a big mouth and a bitter heart, that’s all.
What do you consider OLD Azz Candy? I am 39, is that old to you crapstain?
You’re mad now aren’t you? Old is relative to the subject, so if the shoe fits, you know what to do.
rancid, i left a little nibble below for you. i’d grab it as the cleaning crew is coming to throw you out of that free internet cafe. by the way buy more than one cup as you sit there for hours. a young man on the move in london wouldn’t be doing what you are doing. it says to me you are in school and a braggart.
Lol, I am sitting on my bed tapping away, i am rather bored, the missus is in New York, so hey a lot of time on my hands for you loonies, hey?
hey (LOL) get back to us when you know for sure
Rancid Ass Candy…where you come from, don’t they have laws about 15 year olds getting married? Again, you are a LIAR.
I despise Obama solely because of the race-baiting against both Clintons, but woke up this morning thinking that maybe he could change the culture of rap and the filth that it represents. I don’t think he will do anything, but imagine how much he could elevate the discussion!
I am a teacher in an underpriviledged district and have seen first-hand the devastation being done to these impressionable kids in a culture of rap, despair, hate, and racism. So many of them are choosing to join gangs, quit school, do drugs, etc. Obama could use the bully-pulpit and fundamentally change our culture and society for the better.
Unfortunately, as we all know, he has no experience doing anything, so I won’t hold my breath. What a waste for our country. Maybe he’ll prove me wrong.
And this all being done by rap? not the underfunded schools, the single parent home and an American culture that looks down on academic success. Hmmn.
Please don’t respond to trolls.
Obama has shown his attitude toward filthy misogynistic lyrics – he raps along to the garbage with his daughters.
He could prove you wrong if it means his own self gain, but otherwise he thinks it’s just fine – very unlikely he would want to change a thing.
Ok now I am getting all the hand gestures, even though I was uncomfortable with them as it was when he did them.
An “A-list” celebrity? What the heck does the “A” stand for? I’m holey in the dark on this.
abysmal?
Yes, it means our culture has sank into the abyss.
LOL. Besides the word I was originally thinking of, there is one word that to me sums it all up:
Arrogant.
That one works even better.
they thik lohan is A list also. except for an occasional barely adequate movie protrayal, the answer is not one thing. A List because some airhead from entertaiment tonight says so. please!
i forgot. poor lohan who is also functionally illerate is also not any type of role model with her frequent trips to rehab and spectacular falls. of course being addicted is a disease and we should feel sympathy for this. but the fact is going to rehab is almost required for being an “a”list now. does A stand for addicted? seems to me it does. my complaint is not we those who have the problem but with the hero worship being misplaced.
Would that A in A-list stand for, oh I don’t know, Azzhole?
azzhat?
azzmaggot?
